The phone rang in Hugo Leon’s apartment Saturday morning at 3:30. The Nationwide Tour golfer who lives in the Jupiter, Fla., suburb of Tequesta, was sound asleep, and he didn’t hear the phone ringing. Two hours later, Leon awoke to discover that an 8.8-magnitude earthquake, centered in Concepcion, Chile, had hit. Leon grew up in Santiago, about 300 miles north of Concepcion in the South American country which borders the Pacific Ocean to the west and Argentina to the east.
